Abstract
An electronic module for use as a subsea electronic module (SEM) for an underwater fluid extraction well, as provided. An example of such an SEM includes a plurality of substantially planar electronics cards to operate devices in the SEM. The cards are arranged in a stack such that major faces of each card are oriented substantially parallel to, and coaxial with, major faces of the other cards in the stack. The SEM also includes a substantially planar switch card orientated relative to the stack such that its major faces are oriented substantially parallel to a main axis of the stack and orthogonal to the orientation of the major faces of the electronics cards within the stack. The switch card includes a first Ethernet switch blade configured to control traffic on a LAN area network and a second Ethernet switch blade configured to control traffic on a second LAN.
